avon walk remembered

It was an experience I'll never forget. Having Jen by my side made all the difference in the world. I met some wonderful people, both men and women, but there's something about having your family right by your side, especially because we lost someone we loved so much.

We drove down to Long Beach on Friday night to check in and enjoyed the time to talk and laugh together. We woke up early on Saturday morning and met up with Kathy and her friends (who also became our new friends!). We heard heart wrenching stories of strength, courage and loss. We both remembered the loss we experienced just about 4 years ago. We were amazed by the support shown by perfect strangers in the neighborhoods we walked through.

Jen did a beautiful job capturing our experience...













Nathan, Auntie, Uncle Steve and the kids enjoyed visiting us at the walk, and then returned back to the beach house for some relaxing play time. Auntie prepared wonderful food for all of us and we even extended our stay an extra night at the beach house, courtesy of Mama and Papa. Wonderful memories...wonderfully stored away.
